Hey! It's Clario here, and I'm giving you a guide to see what kind of story you're writing! So here ya go...
Story
A story is... well, a story. You have an original plot, original characters, original setting, original EVERYTHING.
Sequel
So, you've ended your story but fans want more? A Sequel is a continuation, the 2nd of a series. Example is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was the follow up to Sorcerer's Stone.
Fan-Fic
A Fan-Fic is a story that is based off something else. For example, writing a story about a Pichu is a fan-fic, because it is based off Pokémon.
CYOA
CYOA stands for 'Choose Your Own Adventure.' It's when you make a story/fan-fic based off what fans want you to do. You write a part of the story, and then at the end you give choices. The first poster who picks a choice is the one who you follow, no one Else's post.
CARA
CARA stands for 'Choose A Random Adventure'. It's when you make a story/fan-fic based off the times fans post. You write a part of a story, and then list 10 choices, one for each single digit number. You check the time the first poster posted, and whatever the ONES spot digit is, you write the next part based off the random number.
~Note for CARAs: You may make more than one number the same choice. Example: 1. Mario 2. Mario 3. Mario 4. Mario 5. Luigi
IAS
IAS stands for Interactive Story. It's the same as CARA, but instead of the first person, a whole lot of people vote, and whatever choice is chosen the most wins!
More to come soon!
